FAQ
What is child identity theft? Adults are not the only targets of identity theft. In fact, children under the age of 18 can also become victims. Child identity theft happens when someone uses a minor child's personal information, such as name and Social Security number, usually to obtain credit or employment.
A child's identity is very attractive to thieves. It's also a relatively easy crime to commit; a thief could pair any name and birth date with a stolen Social Security number, essentially creating a false identity.
Now a child's number can more easily be used to establish a credit history. Minors are especially vulnerable because they are likely to have an unblemished credit history.In some cases, thieves get access to a child's stolen Social Security number.
To see if your Social Security number is being used by someone else for employment purposes, review your Social Security Statement at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount to look for suspicious activity. Finally, you'll want to use additional scrutiny by regularly checking your bank and credit card accounts online.
Highlights: Check your child's credit reports. Consider a free security freeze. Consider a credit monitoring product. Keep your child's documents in a safe place. Don't share your child's personal information unless it's absolutely necessary.
Can I put a block or a pin number on my son's social security number to prevent his dad from claiming him on his taxes? He doesn't support him anymore. No, you cannot stop someone from claiming a dependent.
Create an FTC Identity Theft Report. place a one-year fraud alert on your credit report. place a seven-year extended fraud alert on your credit report. get free copies of your credit report. get fraudulent information removed (or "blocked") from your credit report.
Parents and legal guardians have unfettered access to their children's personal information. In many cases, a parent, a close relative, or a legal guardian might use the child's Social Security number to commandeer their identity (and clean credit history).
